The Bear and Star takes its name from the two states our founder called home, Texas and California, celebrating refined ranch cuisine paired with California’s bounty. Intrinsically tied to the restaurant is the 714 acre Fess Parker Home Ranch located seven miles away in Foxen Canyon. Wagyu cattle are raised from birth onsite and finished with the spent grains and pomace from the family brewery and winery. Chickens, quail, rabbits, pigs, and bees find their home on the property, and a number of heirloom fruits and organic vegetables are grown to source the restaurant’s always changing menu, allowing guests to experience great-tasting ingredients at the peak of their freshness from the farm. An ever-growing vision of sustainability means this is just the start of a self-contained ecosystem.The Fess Parker Winery supplies The Bear and Star with estate-grown Rhône varietals, consistently earning 90+ point ratings from top wine critics around the world.
